    Seasons change

    We're attached to nature here and so note the creatures. In late summer the "Sulphurs", the many kinds of yellow butterflies, begin to migrate down the river valleys. We never knew this until our move here to the ridge above the stream. You can easily count more than one hundred in a short while...

    Seasons change

    A couple of vultures - aka buzzards - lolling above the trees far a I've the meandering Middle Fork. Sometimes an eagle sails by, Carried on mountain breezes. On very windy days I've watched a Redtailed hawk as it hung, seemingly motionless, mere yards from the porch as if it were studying me...

    God is light, and in him is no darkness at all

    Have you discovered the peace button? AKA as the ignore button. Wonder if it works on life's other problems? Hmmm....

    Husband / or Wife !

    I went yesterday and was told I had an irregular heart beat. I tell her most everything. Somethings I don't that will cause needless grief. She's had a stint put in but we'll knows God healed my heart 40 years ago. I try to judge what to speak so to shield others as best I can.

    The Winepress

    When I look at the Bible I see much. Every account of the people there that went through horrible ordeals had God help them even though many died in hardship. I see brother Paul that wrote the most inspiring words ever from a cold stone cell awaiting execution by a Caesar. How few are my...

    The Winepress

    You probably think me a simpleton but no matter. Our life is hard enough without me vainly trying to comprehend the meaning(s) I of every passage of scripture. Being alive, the word, a scripture, can be given many meanings. For guidance, comfort, healing, for whatever the need be. And of course...

    Husband / or Wife !

    If you wonder if you were good to him then know that you need not wonder. Those that would boast about how good they were to a departed loved one are saying one thing but in their heart seeing another. I'm certain that you blessed him much as he blessed you. A marriage with God in the midst of...

    God is light, and in him is no darkness at all

    Let us build each other up. Criticism can be found anywhere but where can you find true Christian edification?

    God is light, and in him is no darkness at all

    We HAVE to encourage OURSELVES in the Lord like David. We live far from town and have had no church for years though we'd have liked to. Dead religion dominates our area. The prosperity cult on the one hand or lifeless denominationalism on the other. So we hang onto God with our might. We...

    God is light, and in him is no darkness at all

    The world is full of evil and lies in sin, we need revival so much as you say. I refuse to enter into the horrible arguments that I see. I I used to be lured into them but learned they were just a trap. Unwise to say the least. I see that MANY "have not the spirit" as brother Jude writes. They...

    Should Priests Get Married?

    Unless it's written down between Genesis and revelations it can be classified as BLATHER. The devils ROFL when Joseph Smith received his "new revelations" from a supposed angel named (drumroll and kazoo) Moroni! Same for MOhammed. Deception of humans is pretty simple. That people follow these...

    Should Priests Get Married?

    I hope dear God'sGrace you're not talking tobme about the lying thing! I don't think I called anyone this did I? If so forgive me.?? Sometimes who's saying what to whom becomes confusing in these discussions About this guy whoever he is, that said my admonition to stick to the written Bible...

    Should Priests Get Married?

    I see myself as appointed to encourage and watch over others. I am always amazed at how many will hold to religion and tradition rather than God's word. But Jesus spent much of His earthly ministry fighting tradition and dead religion. Nothing has improved.

    Should Priests Get Married?

    Revelations 22:10,exactly what I am saying. Ezekiel chapter 34 God rebukes the false shepherds and goes Himself to seek the wandering sheep that have no shepherd. Such was I and I owe Him my all. Jesus paid it all, let to Him I owe. Sin had left a crimson stain He washed it white as snow...

    Should Priests Get Married?

    Our children were home schooled and met the Lord at home though we attended church. It IS NOT the role of the church to teach the children. The parents must do this. All our children need was live and the word of God. Supposing that this word of God is not enough is a serious error. We see...

    Should Priests Get Married?

    Having been saved outside denominational walls I owe no allegiance to any except the Lord. Lately He has strongly impressed upon me to ask of others "who and what do you defend and why" . If any of us, no matter our spiritual heritage, find ourself in the position of defending anything that...

    Should Priests Get Married?

    You're in a heap if trouble if you depart from the written word. Joseph Smith, Mohammed and others received "revelations". That pervert gods word. My condolences to you.

    Should Priests Get Married?

    Revelation 5:9-10 KJVS And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; [10] And hast made us unto our God kings and priests...

    Should Priests Get Married?

    The everlasting word of God, perverted by denominations, sects, groups, is the true foundation, not the traditions, doctrinal statements, edicts from self appointed men more faithful to their religion than to God. When doctrines of men supplant the words of God everything is in error...

    Should Priests Get Married?

    The principle of priests not being allowed to marry is a religious one, not a God wrought one. Jesus has ordained me to be a priest, not some denomination. The Scriptures are in place. 1 Timothy 4:1-3 KJVS Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the...
